AI Disclosure
Last updated 24 Oct 2026
This page explains how CareersOz writes its listings, where automation and artificial intelligence (AI) help, and where they do not.
How a job listing is written
1. The facts come from the advertisement. Job facts are not written by AI. The employer, posts, number of vacancies, pay, qualification, age limit, dates and how to apply are taken from the job's source: the official advertisement, the employer's own page, a public service commission or testing service, or a job board. AI never supplies or changes a fact. If the source does not state something, we leave it blank.
2. The written text is drafted with AI, from that advertisement only. For most listings, AI writes the descriptive parts in our own words: the short overview at the top, "About this role", the lists of duties, requirements and stated benefits, the questions and answers, and the page title. It works only from that job's facts and advertisement text, is told to write plainly and specifically, and writes in English even when the advertisement is in another language such as German or Swedish.
3. Every AI draft is checked automatically before it is used.
- Facts check: if the draft contains a number, date, link or name that is not in the source, the whole draft is rejected.
- Copy check: if the draft repeats too much of the advertisement's own wording, it is rejected and written again.
- If a draft is rejected, or AI is not available, the listing uses plain text assembled from its facts by fixed templates instead.
4. A listing is written once. Checking the source again does not rewrite the page. When the advertisement changes a fact, such as the last date or the pay, the fact is updated and only the sentences that state it are corrected. The text is written again only when the advertisement itself is substantially rewritten. If one of our editors has changed a listing, a change on the source is shown to them for review instead of being applied.
5. Our guidance sections are written by people. Sections such as how selection works, how to prepare for the test, what to do after applying, how a testing body's test works, pay scales and test syllabuses come from fixed rules and from texts our team writes from official sources. AI does not write them.
6. How much of a page is AI-written. On a typical job page, the AI-drafted text is the overview, "About this role" and the short lists, usually between 150 and 300 words. The rest of the page is the advertisement's own facts and tables, our guidance sections and links.
When a person checks a listing
- A listing whose source gives complete information and a way to apply is published automatically. Any other listing waits for an editor.
- A scanned advertisement read by OCR (text recognition) is always checked by a person against the advertisement before it is published.
- A job abroad whose advertisement does not say who may apply is published with a note telling readers to check their right to work there.
- When an editor changes a listing, automation never overwrites their text.
Other places AI may be used
- Naming the provider. For a scholarship or opportunity whose source does not label the organisation, AI may point out the name of the organisation offering it. That name is used only when exactly the same name appears in the source.
- Career guides and articles. AI may assist in drafting an article. Such a draft is reviewed before it is published, and the article carries a note saying it was drafted with AI assistance.
- Cover images. A listing without its own image gets a cover graphic: our designed panel with the listing's title and facts, and sometimes an AI-generated photo. Every word on it is taken from the listing's facts, never written by AI, and it never replaces or alters an official advertisement. An article without a photograph may use an AI-generated illustration.
What AI is not used for
- Stating or changing facts: dates, pay, vacancies, qualifications, age limits, fees and links.
- Deciding whether a listing has an acceptable source.
- Creating authors, reviewers or expert opinions. Career guides are published by the CareersOz editorial team; we never invent a named writer, reviewer or expert.
